A guy who looks good in pre-season can then look bad in the season, but it never works the other way around. You never see a QB who struggles in pre-season suddenly look good when the lights come on. Often you see a guy look bad and fans say "oh he doesn't have his first choice line or he doesn't have his first choice receivers" but when a QB sucks in the pre-season he is gonna suck in the regular season too. So while fans do get overexcited when a Mitch Trubisky or a Tua looks good in a pre-season game it is mainly just because it means there is still some hope for them. If they suck in pre-season you are done. Edited August 24, 2021 by GunnerBill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really referring not to Trubisky but to Wilson, Tua, and Mac Jones -- and fans of those teams who are predicting greatness. Wilson's PS numbers look amazing, but they are a predictor of absolutely nothing when the real lights come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson's PS numbers look amazing, but they are a predictor of absolutely nothing when the real lights come on. It applies equally to Trubisky though. I have said elsewhere I still think he's be the best QB on the Bears at present but if Saturday was a true reflection on who Trubisky is as a QB he would not be here as our backup. Some of the talk here about whether you could trade him for a first round pick since Saturday has been a little nuts. I think Mitch is a very talented guy compared to other backups in the league but if Saturday was the norm he'd still be a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go after Justin Layne or Pierre outside, and whoever wins their nickle corner spot. We have a distinct advantage there, and expect them to run a lot of dime/blitzing like they did 1st half last year. I'd expect us to try testing their new/young oline by lining up with alot of "sugar" looks and safety/nickle blitzes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect Watt gets his record breaking deal done after this weekend. But every day that passes, looking more likely Tuitt misses week 1 or longer.
